Spotlight On: Sitting As Little As Possible

6 May 2022

Many of us have experienced the benefits of an active lifestyle and it is common for the habit of participation to begin at school.

From The Principal

29 April 2022

We need your daughters at school. We need them to spend time together in order to feel connected and fuel the tank of social relationships for the rest of the year. We also need to remind them that sometimes life is not all about you – it’s also about being there for others. Being present for each other is a gift and we want our girls to grow in this form of generosity.

Spotlight on: Women's Voices

11 March 2022

When the Year 1 girls sang I Can Be Anything in a recent Assembly and each student went on to share the profession she’d like to pursue in the future, it seemed that nothing could get in the way of their goals. In a girls’ school and in a community where girls come from families where women make significant decisions and effect change (girls are very observant!), it is understandable that the girls are likely to feel confident about their future.

Spotlight on: The Importance of School Connectedness

21 February 2022

There is no doubt that your daughter thrives when she feels a strong sense of connection with her closest friends.
